A tunicate: a white blobby sac-like animal with varicose purple veins and gaping orifices

Wikipedia for Tunicates:
Tunicates are marine invertebrates belonging to the subphylum Tunicata (/tju:nikerta/ TEW-nih-KAY-ta). This grouping is part of the Chordata, a phylum which includes all animals with dorsal nerve cords and notochords (including vertebrates)....

Despite their simple appearance and very different adult form, their close relationship to the vertebrates is certain. Both groups are chordates, as evidenced by the fact that during their mobile larval stage, tunicates possess a notochord, a hollow dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, post-anal tail, and an endostyle. They resemble a tadpole.

Some tunicates live as solitary individuals, but others replicate by budding and become colonies, 11) each unit being known as a zooid. They are marine filter feeders with a water-filled, sac-like body structure and two tubular openings, known as siphons, through which they draw in and expel water.
During their respiration and feeding, they take in water through the incurrent (or inhalant) siphon and expel the filtered water through the excurrent (or
exhalant) siphon. Adult ascidian tunicates are sessile, immobile and permanently attached to rocks or other hard surfaces on the ocean floor.

‘Vestigial brains’😂… maybe a throwback to our distant chordate sponge-cousins the Tunicates🪸, who as children have brains and can navigate the world, but then regress and become sessile filter-feeding gasbags 💬attached to rocks or some similar concept

Marines illegally detaining US citizen

Marines illegally detaining US citizen

Trump’s regime forces, marines in Los Angeles breaking their oaths, have detained their first US civilian identified as Marcos Leao, 27, an Army veteran on his way to an office of the Department of Veterans Affairs when he accidentally crossed a yellow tape boundary. #3E #StopICE

We’re at war with Iran, Trump’s gone into hiding, nobody will tell us our objectives, plan or end game, our Sec of Defense is a useless dipshit, our Sec of State lied about it, our DNI loves the leader of Iran’s greatest ally, & tomorrow we’re having a parade for Trump’s bday.

They look as if they regret pulling these wonderful ladies over. They get an earful.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

What an unbelievable asshole.

Good Christ. Trump seemed to think the chancellor of Germany considered the end of WWII a sad day somehow. Merz had to explain, no, America liberated us from the Nazis, dipshit. That was a good thing, you absolute fucking moron.

I paraphrase only slightly.
